Hi, I’m Kat, Your Austin Maternity Photographer.
TACO OBSESSED, ENNEAGRAM 8, yogi, personal development junkie
Hey, I’m Kat! I’m a maternity and lifestyle photographer based in Austin Texas. For over 16 years, I’ve had the honor of capturing people through life’s most meaningful seasons. My work has been featured in Vanity Fair, GQ, People, and more, and trusted by celebrities, global brands, and hundreds of families who want photos that feel both timeless and alive.
But beyond the accolades, here’s what matters most: supporing women to feel radiant, confident, and deeply connected in front of the camera—especially in the sacred season of motherhood.
Whether we’re shooting a maternity session in the heart of Austin, capturing a glowing mama-to-be at McKinney Falls, or creating natural portraits in the golden evening light, I’m here to photograph not just what you look like, but the joy, intimacy, and strength of who you are.
Portfolio
My style is what I call The Classic In-Between—timeless and playful maternity portraits with a touch of editorial elegance, blended with candid moments that make you say, “That’s so me!”

from LIZ:
Kat photographed my maternity shoot and I was blown away by the end results. Her style is sophisticated, modern and editorial-level. Throughout the shoot she made me feel comfortable and we had a ton of fun together. I was blown away by the photos she shared- they were exactly what I wanted (and honestly more).
from FRANCESCA
"Kat's work captures the most magical and special moments. I am amazed at the emotion, level of detail, and intimacy that her eye catches. Kat goes above and beyond for her clients, and I couldn't recommend working with her more. Her talent, professionalism, and creativity are among the best."
from NIKKI
"Kat is truly the best in the biz. Not only are the photos I received even better than I expected, but she creates the most comfortable and fun environment for all shoots. She truly creates magic with her camera, heart and energy that helps you to feel magical yourself! "

"My husband and I are so in love with the pictures she took of our little family!
Even though we hosted an at home session, I always get a little nervous before a photoshoot. Kat made me feel comfortable and at home, like it was any other evening. She captured my newborn’s personality perfectly and the mood we were going for! We will look back on these photos in the years to come and remember more than the sleepless nights + other newborn phase blessings. Thank you Kat! We love you!
